  • Remittance Advice input validity: The RAs were scanned into the computer in a different functional area. The comparison between what was input into the computer by a separate party and what the CR clerk has on file ensures the validity of the information.
  • Remittance Advice input accuracy: By scanning the RA this reduces the amount of errors.
P4: Automatic Data Entry.
  • Efficient employment of resources: With automated data entry, it reduces the amount of data that has to be keyed into the system, thus improving the productivity.
